COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Maryland jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the bottom of the first, scoring on a two-run single by shortstop Alfredo Rodriguez and on a two-run double by catcher Jack Cleary, and never looked back as the Terrapins defeated Duke 21-2 on Saturday afternoon at Bob “Turtle” Smith Stadium.

First baseman Tomo Delp added a two-run double down the left field line and Rodriguez drove in another run on a sacrifice fly to center in the second to extend the Terrapin lead to 7-0.

Designated hitter Jeff Kremer got the Blue Devils on the board in the third, crushing the first pitch he saw over the wall in center for a one-out solo home run. It was the second homer of the season for Kremer and the third of his career.

Duke added a run in the fourth to make it a 7-2 ballgame. Second baseman Mark Lumpa drew a one-out walk. Left fielder Andrew Istler then singled to the gap in right center, moving Lumpa all the way to third. Lumpa would then score on an RBI-groundout from right fielder Grant McCabe.

The Terps tacked on three runs in the fourth to go ahead 10-2.

Second baseman Kyle Convissar added a solo home run in the fifth to extend the Maryland lead to 11-2.

Left fielder Michael Montville drove in a run in the sixth to put the Terps ahead 12-2. Maryland would load the bases later in the inning but Duke righty Sarkis Ohanian got Convissar to fly out to left to get out of the bases-loaded jam.

Maryland (24-13, 7-10 ACC) added two more runs in the seventh to make the score 14-2.

A seven-run eighth inning accounted for the final margin.

Kremer finished 1-for-3 with his solo homer, while Istler went 2-for-4 at the plate. Third baseman Jordan Betts had his third double of the weekend and center fielder Anthony D’Alessandro added a double for Duke (13-23, 5-12 ACC). Catcher Mike Rosenfeld and pinch hitter Al Morris added hits, while McCabe had an RBI and Lumpa scored a run.

Brett Harman (5-2) earned the win after holding the Blue Devils to two runs on four hits in six innings. Harman had eight strikeouts and only one walk on the day.
